``What I love most about being a Photographer, is that you truly become a part of someone's family for that one special moment. That intimate space, where a story is shared....And it's you who captures that emotion, that tear, the joy and laughter. It's so magical and meaningful, that one moment that is frozen in time and a memory is created forever...`` - Natalie Jeanne
Internationally renowned photographer, NatalieJeanne found her love and passion for photography 17 years ago when she was given her first film camera. She then went on to study Black and White film photography, furthering her skills in the trade. Having spent the last 8 years travelling all over the world, to a total of 33 different countries, the opportunities she has had to photograph and the life experiences she has gained has definitely influenced her skills and views in the industry.
” Being privileged enough to have a job that allows me to work and travel at the same time, doing what I love, seeing places , learning something new all the time, meeting and truly understanding the different cultural ways of the world, one cannot put a price on that. I grew, It was a time in my life I will be eternally grateful for. ”
Having now decided to put her roots back down in Cape Town, Natalie Jeanne wants to use everything she has learnt along the way to continue building a business that provides a professional service, whilst ensuring to understand her client needs within a comfortable and welcoming environment , one which can add value and enrich the lives of people she photographs. Specializing in Black and White Portraiture and Studio work but not limited to the various photographic genres, NatalieJeanne provides a unique experience where she focuses on more than just taking a picture.
” I believe it is not just about taking the picture, I think that you build the rapport from the very beginning, when meeting a client and providing that service and great energy. Being a photographer for me, means doing what I love, I love connecting with people, not only from a photographic point. I love meeting people and hearing about their life stories. “
” There’s a world out there, and everyone has a story, and if I can create and capture that real, true relationship, that emotion….and put it into a picture, make that ONE & ONLY moment, permanent…..That’s me Happy. “
